    I gave Jeff a few free rude comments pointed at me. I didn't respond and I kept things on topic. But a few wasn't good enough and he kept at it so now I'm giving it back and you're worried about poor little Jeffries feelings. How sweet.

    I'll say exactly to his face what I've said here. Jeff is a bully and a d!ck and I'll say whatever I want. You think you need a ton of guts to call someone Fredo?????

    So please SC, just stay out of it. We all know you're on Jeff's side. You don't need to put it out there.
    You're truly the king of psychological projection.

    The term is most commonly used to describe defensive projection-attributing one's own unacceptable urges to another. The concept emerged from Sigmund Freud's work in the 1890s.

    Unconscious discomfort can lead people to attribute difficult feelings or impulses to someone else to avoid confronting them. Projection allows the difficult trait to be addressed without the individual fully recognizing it in themselves.

        Hmm.
        Wow. We sourced the same link at the same time. Funny.

        Of course I'll be accused of being in another cabal.

          Cyfress you should run a special 20% off a read if you've had a fight with them on this board. And maybe a tastycake.

            The stay at home Dad concept sounds like a treasure trove of comedy material to me. Have you used it.

              My wife has used it against me. But the issue is Mr Mom is not that unique in 2020.

                I don't know if I agree... "nothing new under the sun" and all that.

                With a cool inciting incident, I think it has legs.

                  Yes I have ideas on that. I'm just being modest. Figured some man on here should try that. Boom!

                    Are you sure Jeff isn't just a huge d!ck and rude and that's why this is going on. Are you sure there's this huge Freudian reason why I'm saying the things to Jeff I'm saying?

                    Like I said I ignored the first attempts to be rude, but now it's just fun. Fredo is weak and easily manipulated. Jeff admitted to being weak and manipulated earlier in this thread. He's Fredo.

                    As for all the jokes and stereotypes about Philly, I'd say half are true. Especially in South Philly where I grew up. I mean, I knew people who talked like Rocky Balboa. But SC, just stay out of my personal stuff with Jeff. Talk about picking the right idea. Let me and Jeff handle our own baggage. Unless he's pm'ing you that he's scared and he needs help.

                      Sloppy of us.

                      The best part is, I'm sure the idea that you've spent your time on DD sucking up to me is as amusing to you as it is to me. I've probably spent more time fighting with you than any other writer here.

                      Bono, take a shot at Hotel For Dogs. No one's picked on that lately. Maybe I'll go after you.

                        You’re being a dick too C. Or as we call it — Being from Philly. And that’s fine. But admit it. I can easily be a dick — though tiny— but I like to make jokes at my own expense and try to bring people together. That’s my style.

                          Ha! Personal stuff? You're going at it on a public discussion board. And losing.

                          Fredo. Yeah.

                            I'm writing something in same vein. Oh my god I didn't realize there were other dog movies. Years wasted. Thanks a lot Jeff. Why didn't you bring this to my attention earlier???

                                This is true. Though, to my recollection, neither of us ever made it "you're a dick and your writing sucks" personal.

                                And beating this dead Fredo horse is actually comical.

                                Not on my watch. I personally know how much that movie meant to the now 18-year old in our guardianship after the horror show of her early years.
